Hunting Season

Gun deer hunting season is this week. My husband is excited about it. I see he has all his things ready in the basement days before he is going. I myself don't see the excitement in the sport. Sitting in a tree in the cold watching and praying for a deer to come your way.

That is sort of what our job on this earth is as Christians. We don't have to be in the cold or sitting in a tree but we need to be watching and ready to tell others about Jesus. I love to encourage others with the message that I heard some 27 years ago.

I often wonder how my life would be different without my personal relationship with my Lord. I see people in the world and how they live without Jesus and I don't want any part of it. People without the knowledge of the God of the bible are just living their life wondering about the after life. They are afraid some are poor and most are unhappy.

When Jesus walked this earth He probably had chances to be afraid but He wasn't. He also wasn't poor as some say that He was. They shook dice for His garment when He was on the cross because it was woven all in one piece. Back in bible days if your garment was one piece you were considered rich. How could people even think that He was poor knowing God was His Father. Let me remind you that God owns everything so if your in Him everything He has is yours.

So if you are one of those unhappy people  today make up your mind that you will change that. That old saying life is to short might be a good saying but I will add to that. Life is to short to be unhappy. Normally it is people and circumstances that tend to make us unhappy. Over the years I have learned that when you encounter somebody that is not kind to you instead of getting upset or offended think about what that person might be going through that would make them mean. Maybe they just lost a love one, there job or they are just lonely. We have know idea what others go through in this life so reach out to them even if they have a bad attitude. Most of the time we can reach out to people without even mentioning the name Jesus but in our actions Jesus is seen.

So decide to stay happy in the Lord and reach out to others as the time is short. You may be the only Jesus they will ever see.

So as my husband goes out this Super Saturday and shots his buck my prayer is that every hunter bags his buck also.
